Nicholas Casey Bunch Evans

Nicholas was born in Johnson, Arkansas to Melissa Evans and Mandy Bunch on November 21, 2008. He was a rising 9th grader at Fayetteville High School. He completed 8th grade at Ramay Junior High with flying colors. He enjoyed music and sports, including baseball and hockey. He loved the Razorbacks, Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Cardinals and the Dallas Stars. Musically, he had perfect pitch, and this past Fall was in the All-Region Choir. He loved his school and church choirs. He was the quintessential Disney fan and his favorite character was Winnie the Pooh. He was set on becoming an Audio Description Narrator for his career.

He is survived by his mothers, Melissa Evans (Larry White), and Mandy Bunch (Suzanne Taft), uncles Eric Bunch and Brian Evans, aunts Courtney Sidereal and Emily Evans, several cousins and his grandmother Barbara. He is preceded in death by grandparents Walter Evans, Faith Bunch, and Ray Bunch.

Funeral Services will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas, July 7, 2023 at 2:00 pm. A Celebration of Life reception will follow in the Parish Hall.

Nicholas loved playing for the Kansas City Royals Miracle League baseball team. He played for them since he was five years old. This organization gave him and gives kids of all abilities, and their parents, the opportunity to enjoy something they would not have been offered otherwise. He could be a baseball player and we could be his screaming fans. We are requesting that memorial donations be made to Miracle League of Northwest Arkansas.

Pure joy exuded from Nicholas. He was the embodiment of light and love. He touched many people’s lives with his kindness, politeness and positive spirit. A quote from one of his favorite movies Planes, “Kid, I learned a lot more from you, than you ever learned from me” was true of how we felt about him all his life. He taught us to appreciate every day no matter what. In our grief we also think of a quote from another favorite movie of his, Greater, which is etched on Brandon Burlsworth’s headstone, “Our loss is great, but God is greater.”
